“Air bag indicator and chime go off intermittently. I've been told it is the clockspring wiring assemble, which seems to be a know problem with the 2008 - 2012 Jeep wrangler. Meaning I do not have reliable airbag protection due to a faulty part. Chrysler issued a recall for all rhd wranglers in these years, but did nothing for the drivers of the left hand drive versions.”
NHTSA complaint #10563754, filed 2014-02, 52,500 miles“Airbag light intermittently goes on and off constantly and when the dealer diagnosed the problem as an issue with the clockspring and ordered the part, it had to be special ordered because it was on special back order and I was told I was 503 on the waiting list! It is apparently a safety issue as I'm told I have to replace it or the airbag is not working when the airbag light is on. The repair estimate is over $530.”
NHTSA complaint #10874942, filed 2016-06, 144,000 miles“I took my vehicle twice to the dealer, moritz, in fort worth and was told the passenger airbag problem was fixed but according to this site it has not. I'm still awaiting notification that the driver side airbag parts to come in to get that problem resolved.”
NHTSA complaint #11002141, filed 2017-06, 60,000 miles“2008 Jeep jk's need to have a recall on there clock springs! I have just had to have mine replaced, and have read of many others who have or need to on-line. The warning light started flashing every minute or so with a tone, I feel others and myself should not have to or had to pay for our safety when it is the manufactures issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10483270, filed 2012-11, 67,290 miles“Find it hard to believe my 2008 wrangler is not part of the air bag recall. My light came on about 3 yrs ago had to replace it to have it inspected . To me that's enough to prove it needs to be part of recall .. Very disgusted how this has been handled !!!”
